This month, the second of three parts of Dr. Tureck's 1966 lecture at UC San Diego. In this section, she discusses the relationship between what's on the page, and what the performer should do, relating a funny anecdote about cadenzas. http://tureckbach.com/documents/regents2-part2/

Now von Bülow — you know we musn't be too trivial about these people — he was a great man; he was a great musician — but at the same time he simply didn't know very much about this particular angle. I make this sort of preface to my remarks because it is so easy to make fun of figures in the past...
